Aracely the guide is a Cholita herself. I learned so much about Aymara Indigenous people and how a Cholita dresses. Aracely was super knowledgeable and her command of english was so good that I understood everything she shared. Coming to La Paz is only complete if you've visited El Alto which I did. I appreciate it to be less touristy and fully immerse to see the daily lives of the Aymaras and appreciate watching Cholets and Cholitas everywhere. Overall this is the best experience I've doneon Viator. I appreciate Aracely for making my La Paz trip memorable x
